• 1/2 tablespoon salt 

Filling:

• 600 gr ground meat, beef or lamb
• 3 medium size onions, chopped
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

• Combine flour, and the salt, in a large bowl. Make a deep well in the center and add water. Mix well, then knead for 10 minutes or until the dough is smooth and slightly stiff. Cover with a damp towel and let it rest for 45 minutes.
• Combine all of the filling ingredients and mix well.
• On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1.5 – 2 mm thickness and sprinkling lightly over the top with flour. Cut the dough into 10 cm squares. Place 1-2 tablespoons of filling into the center of each square and top each with small piece of butter. Bring the corners together, sealing and pinch the edges together on the top.
